Scottish Coffee Company Launches Decarbonization Project in Honduras

A new partnership aims to reduce carbon footprints in the coffee supply chain. Matthew Algie, a Scottish coffee roasting company, is collaborating with Solidaridad Network to launch a two-year decarbonization pilot project focused on Honduras. This initiative is part of Algie's goal to achieve “net zero” carbon emissions by 2040. The project is funded with €50,000 and involves the Capucas producer group in Copán, Honduras.

• The project will measure carbon footprints and promote sustainable farming practices.

• It includes training for 45 technical staff and producers on climate strategies.

• Data collection from 100 producers will help identify emissions sources.

• The initiative aims to address social issues like gender equality within the coffee sector.

This project is significant as it represents a proactive step towards sustainability in the coffee industry. By focusing on supply chain emissions, which account for over 90% of its carbon footprint, Matthew Algie is taking a crucial step in addressing climate change and fostering a more sustainable future for coffee production.
